A summer night the hot the heat
sit at my desk fluorescent light
drawing a picture of a perfect moment
i saw it once on a grand avenue
that stretched into the distance
and you and i were walking there
lost in the moment
life on a string
life on a string
Some people know exactly where they're going
the pilgrims to mecca
the climbers to the mountaintop
but me, i'm just looking
for just a single moment
so i can slip through time
life on a string
life on a string.
